Chapter 1
Safety Guidelines
To avoid personal injury and property damage, carefully follow all the safety steps
listed below when accessing your system or handling the components.
1-1 ESD Safety Guidelines
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent dam-
age to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures
are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic
bag.
• Handle the RAID card by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the card and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
1-2 General Safety Guidelines
• Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components
from the computer, including the SAS 825TQ Backplane.
• Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the
SAS 825TQ Backplane.
• Make sure that the SAS 825TQ Backplane is securely and properly installed
on the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.
1-3 An Important Note to Users
• All images and layouts shown in this user's guide are based upon the latest
PCBRevision available at the time of publishing. The card you have received
may or may not look exactly the same as the graphics shown in this manual.
